An Arkansas Judgment.
ITeIas Taranlula.l

In the course of his charge to tho jury on q
murder case an Arkansas judge said: 81 In
making your decision gentlemen. please bear in
mind that the deceased was reaching for his
hip pocket when tie prisoner hlazed away AT
him. The territorial statutes. you understand,
gentlemen, allow Que man. when he sees another
make this motion, To perduce his gun aud be-
gin the hOnIbardment To be sure it has been
proved that the deceased was reaching for his
handkerchief, but that makes no difference, tie
law does hot recognise amy such movements
The very fact that he was carrying "A pocket
handkerchief while ia Arkansas shows that nc
was an unfit member for our society. Please
weigh all of these facts before bringing in your
yerdict"

The Weeks DOings at the Ma
tiOnaI Capital
PETTY TYRANNY,

Here Is an instance OF the nsgging little des-
potism that prevails in Department life: Last
week an old soldier. and one OF the best clerks
in one Of the Departments, went with his little
son into another division from that in which
he was employed TO speak 10 his brother in
law. He did not notice that it WAS just 8
o'clock and that work had begun. He asked
for his brother in-law. but no one replied. He
said, joculary,"A holy silence seems 10 prevail
here" aud walked away. One Of the tOsdies
that abound in all the Departments reported
him, and the same day he was informed that
he must ask for 10 days leave Of absence
without pay" This meant loss OF SIS 10 him,
which he could not we'll afford, but there WAS
no help for 1t.
VISITING HOME
Col VIM. +. Mclean. First Deputy Commits
sioner Of Pensions. left Washington this week
for a two-weeks visit 10 his home in Indiana.
Certainly no official of the Government has
earned this brief vacation better than Col. Nc

not been absent from his desk an hour during
Office hours, and every moment of that time
has been put in 20 good advantage in expedit-
ing the work Of the Office.
